Live Stock Notes.

Thorp Andrews. of Fort Worth, Is being
urgently pressed for the position of agent
of the bureau of animal statistics, vice
Cunningham, deceased.
A. Armeutrout bought of o. P. Watson,
from Ranger, Texas, clip of wool at 10
cents; also another clip, from I. d. Ham
ilton, from Wise county, at 20 cents.
Colorado Clipper: j. W. Robbins, of
Toyah creek, sold 500 yearlings to Clay
Mann last week for So per head. Mr..
Robbins also sold 1000 three-year old
steers to Indian Territory buyers for SIS
per head.
San Antonio Stockman: W. j. Good
shipped 126 beeves to st. Louis last week.
He wanted to ship to Chicago, via Cairo,
but they would not bill him beyond the
latter point, on account, they said, of the
interstate commerce law.
San Angelo Standard-Snyder Bros, of
Georgetown, Texas, whose ranch is on the
Colorado river, in Tom Green county, a
few days ago sold 10000 head of l and
2-year old heifers and steers to the Capitol
syndicate for 81 and IS, and 81 and $12
per head.
The Northwestern Stock Journal: Feed
ing steers of ten to eleven hundred pounds
are now selling in Kansas City and Chica-
go for ten to twelve dollars more than fat
steers of same weight brought last fail.
This is certainly a good sign of better
prices the coming fall.
The wool men of Ballinger are raising
a fund to build a wool warehouse, and the
sums have been subscribed: A. Matthews,
800; W. S. Davis, 800; D. p. Gay, 500;

BRANCHES LEAVING THE KNIGHTS OF
LABOR

Signs daily appear that the Knights OF
Labor is too bulky and uuweildy an or
ganization. Covering as it does every
branch of trade, its members being COL
lected from most every class of manual
employment, it is impossible for any
general set of laws, or any one set Vi
general officers to regulate successfully
and efficiently the whole organization
About ten days ago a telegram from
Pittsburg stated that the miners OF New
England were organizing huge assocla-
ton of their own. Each member OF the
association, though, was to have dual re-
lation; his status as Knight of Labor
nnst he established before he could be
eligible to membership in the Miners as
ISOLATION. In the incipiency OF the or
panization this was to have been ex-
pected, but when this new association
numbers 10000, as they claim it soon will,
then the question of their allegiance 20
the general order of the Knights of Labor
will be strongly presented for consldera-
ton. Yesterday a dispatch from New
York told that in another branch of trade
this movement had been more radical.
The boot and shoe cutters of New Eng
land are now bent on forming an indie
pendent union, similar to the Plasterers'
Protective union. This new order has as
its maxim: "Arbitration," not "strikes"
or "boycotts."
These movements are in the natural
sequence of things. The interests of the
various lines of trade are, at times, and
even for the most part, so conflicting that
men engaged in all Of them cannot, for
long time, be banded together in any
common effort. The general rules and
aims of the order of the Knights of La
Dor, doubtless with profit, will be adhered
to by all branches as they split off from
the IN ain body. With one aim, the bet
terment of the condition of the working
classes the branches and the parent stalk
will together struggle along; yet, in turn,
each branch will have its distinctive or
ganism and regulations, its own officers,
and, in most cases, its own methods of
obtaining its ends. Each trade can, IN
this way, the more surely secure ITS own
protection, wilhelm combined effort, the
whole body of laborers can find force and
prestige in the general purpose of their
main order.

STATE DEBTS.

The bonded debt of the state of Texas,
compared with that of other states, will
put her in very favorable light. Our
bonded debt on January, 1897, was
81, 237,7 3O, with total annual interest of
$291 ,OC0. The Oldest issue of these
bonds is that of August 3, 1870, 100000,
per cent due 1890 and 1910. This was
followed by that of May 2, 1871, $65, 200, 6
cent. due 1892. Then, December 2, 1871,
S467000, per cent. due 1892.
Then again follows the issue of
March 4, 1874, $2SS,OOO, 7 per cent. due in
1894, succeeded two years later by six
per cent. loan of $1,6i70OO, and still later
in 1879, by S1,O6S,900 at per cent.
and in the same year also, 81, $50 at
per cent. From 1S79to 1885 there
seems to have been an interregnum in
the debt-making era, which was
again broken by the creation
of an Indebtedness of 100000.
But the total of the state debt is triAe
compared with her S7OO,OOO,OOO oftaxable
wealth.
1t is very modest debt, too, compared
with other states. Some of our neighbors,
with less wealth, are much worse off than
Texas. Alabama, with a taxable wealth
of $170,0O0,00o, owes $9,OOO,OOO. Arkan-
sas, with $l26,0O0,0OO, has budget of
$5,000OOO; Missouri, with $73O,0OO,OOO,
owes Sl4,o000oo; Mississippi, with $122,-
100000, has funded debt of over
$3,0O0,O00; Louisiana, with taxable
property of $2l2,OOO,OOO, scarcely one
third that of our own state, has a debt of
S15,000,000. With the rapidly advancing
wealth of Texas, the extinction of its
bonded debt will be matter of ease.

SENATOR CoKE's OPEN LETTER.

Elsewhere in this issue can be found
Senator Coke's letter to the anti prohibi-
ton committee, declining their invitation
to address the anti-prohibitiOn conven-
ton that is to meet in Dallas on the first
Wednesday of May. 1t will be seen that
Senator Coke excuses himself from TAX
ing any active part in the coming cam
paign, lest be might lend influence to the
prohibition question becoming a party
issue, and this because he would be con
fronted by his speeches of two years ago,
all showing that prohibition was essen
TALLY opposed to the true principles of
democracy. Senator Coke CONSTITUTES the
twelfth plank of the state democratic
platform, dealing with the question of
local option, also to include prohibition,
and his present position is taken because
under this platform Of principles, true
democrats can rightly favor prohibition
Granted, for the sake of argument that
this position is n true one, and also
granted that discussions in the democratic
ranks are by all means to be avoided; yet
is not this question OF prohibition
an economic question, capable of being
disassOciated from all party questions?
And would il not be possible and permissi-
BILE for Senator Coke TO leave out of any
discussion OF the question all party atlilia-
tions, and treat the subject as a man, not
as n politician, not as democrat. He
says he 'conscientiously believes that the
best interests of the state, of society, of
social order and of true temperance re-
form, demand that the amendment be
voted down at the polls in August next"
Can't republican, or a greenbacker,
think this as well as a democrat? Though
Senator Coke's position may be Il peculiar
one, because of his Office and his past ex-
pressions, and this may make it little
more difficult for him to rid himself of
outside influences and speak simply in the
garb of man, yet he is not on this account
to be denied the privilege SO to speak;
nor do we think the public generally will
require the sacrifice of him. The prohi-
bition question is one of very great i'm
portance; it should be thoroughly dis
eussed; the facts and theories should be
perfectly sifted; the state of Texas needs
such talent as Senator Coke possesses in
eminent degree, to help lay bare the
real points at issue, the real drift of this
amendment. For this end tits hoped that
Senator Coke will reconsider his deter
mination, not that anti-prohibition may
have another champion, but that the full
est light of reason and argument may be
thrown on the question, and that the peo-
pie may thus vote the more intelligibly,

THEY WILL NOT ANSWER.

The interstate commerce commission
ers have given a decided ruling in answer
to the mass of questions that have been
rolling in upon them, as to what will be
their Interpretation of the law in such and
such given cases. The commissioners hold
that an answer to such questions would
be merely an enunciaiion of an all initio
opinion, not predicated upon facts laid
before them and coming up for their de-
cision under provisions of this law. 1t
would be rather in the nature of warn
ing or a license than of a Judicial do
cision. Such action on their part would be
unwaIranted by the terms of the law that
created their Office AID they will not pre-
sumo to trespass beyond their prescribed
rights. These questions that they thus
refuse to answer are built up on cases that
will possibly and doubtless arise, and are
predicated upon the hypothesis, or else
statement, that the railroads, in such and
such cases, are willing to act thus and So.
The commissioners hold that this is not
enough. II can not be taken as case
of agreed facts as stated by counsel
on either side, and they cannot go into
such matters. If they would lend them
selves part to such discussions they
would have all their time used up, with
out being able to give proper attention to
matters coming up before them legiti-
mately and in due course of the proceed
ings marked out by the interstate COM
merce law.

THERE is q chance for renewal of the
Cutting matter. Pedro Garcia, native
Mexican, prints a paper in Ell Paso' On
Mexican soil. He published an alleged
libel on Americans and circulated the
same on Mexican soil. He is now in the
same old Jail formerly occupied by Cut
ting. The Mexicans stick to their extra
territorial jurisdiction, while Uncle Sam
sticks to Canada and the fisheries. 1T
remains to be SEEM" as the editor of the
olden time would say, whether anything
will come out of it. Possibly, not. Senior
Garcia Is greaser; Cutting was "gringo'"

near future, if the present rate of immi-
grafton continues, of all that vast stretch
of noccupied lands constituting what is
known as the great west. Texas, with her
public domain far smaller than that of the
United States, has had mnch experience
in this matter, and can duly sympathlze
with the national government in its efforts
to regain its lost territory. The new lease
and sale law just passed by the Legislature
may wholly correct abuses of the land law
in Texas, and the United States may well
watch its operation, as the observation
may be of great value in this crisis.
